Hereditary haemolytic anaemia, unspecified - what does this mean
Hereditary haemolytic anaemia is a type of anaemia that is caused by a genetic mutation in the red blood cells. this mutation results in the red blood cells being destroyed prematurely, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the body's tissues. symptoms of this condition include fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, and jaundice. treatment usually involves blood transfusions and iron supplements.
What happens during the disease - hereditary haemolytic anaemia, unspecified
Hereditary haemolytic anaemia is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of red blood cells, resulting in an abnormally low number of red blood cells, or haemolysis, in the body. this leads to a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, jaundice and shortness of breath. in some cases, the condition can also lead to an increased risk of infections due to a weakened immune system.
